Your cart is empty.This creative and practical safari-themed activity pad is a cut above for kids who are developing fine motor skills! Melissa and Doug’s Safari Scissor Skills gives an engaging, creative direction to scissor work, meaning more concentration and less mess. Organized from simple to more complex, 20 different paper cutting projects (with complete supplies included right in the pages of the book) practice slightly different skills and techniques, and produce 20 unique crafts, games, and activities to offer kids four and older a creative focus and a sense of accomplishment. Plastic safety scissors are included, which naturally encourage proper form and are safe for preschoolers--but any pair of scissors can be used to complete the paper-cutting projects.

We all want a pair of scissors that isn't steel for our little ones as they're learning. However, finding ones that don't fall apart or even cut proves difficult. Melissa & Doug's are a little difficult to use without some help with holding the paper, as they are 2 pieces of plastic; our kid still loves them and can use them without our help even. Highly recommend for those tiny, learning hands.

My son loves to play with scissors (naturally), but I've never REALLY been able to get him into coloring. Also about 100% positive he has ADHD (because I do), so neither of us has a great attention span. I can hardly get him to sit through coloring one page in a book, and the fact that this has everything already full color, but you can cut, tape, paste, etc and do "all the fun stuff" without laboring through coloring first and still turn out a nice colorful thing your kid is happy to put together and hang on the wall is freaking fantastic. First time with it he say down and we did like 4 pages. The scizzors aren't the greatest, but he already has a small assortment of scizzors and went to town with his little Fiskars on this. And thank you, Amazon, for reminding me we have this to do by asking me if I was ready to review this product. Like I said... Terrible attention span.

My 5-year-old is just learning how to manage with scissors, and this book has been a lot of fun for her. The activities start out very easy and progressively get harder. The sisters that come with it are the first I've ever seen without a metal blade. They're sharp enough to cut the paper but not the skin, pretty impressive.

My child (and I) both love Melissa and Doug products. She went nuts for this and it's the second scissor skills book she's had by them. The patterns and games are fun, simple yet challenging and engaging. She requests it specifically, quite often.The only con, and the reason I gave this 4 stars rather than 5, is that the scissors are nearly impossible to use. They do not cut the paper in the workbook, or even regular printer paper without supreme effort, which is not ideal for a child learning to use scissors. To me, this was neglible, as we already have effective safety scissors and the workbook is still a great price whether the scissors work or not.

My daughter loves this set. We keep it in the diaper bag for when we’re out and need an activity to keep her busy. It starts off with easy pages Nd gradually gets more complex, she really loves it!
